Property Level Flood Resilience
Businesses and residents who are homeowners or tenants in private-rented housing are responsible for taking appropriate measures to prevent or reduce the impact of flooding on their property. This is especially important if you live in a property or area that is known to flood. Using Property Flood Resilience (PFR) equipment is a great way of protecting your home or business from flood water. There are two elements to PFR.
- Resistance measures involve implementing physical barriers such as flood doors or flood boards onto the outside of your property, to prevent water from entering.
- Resilience measures entail installing internal equipment such as hard, waterproof floors and raised electrical sockets, which reduce the impact of flood water and make it easier and quicker to recover from the damage caused.
It is preferable to prevent water from entering your property, so resistance measures are the most effective.
Information on finding suitable measures for your home is available at thefloodhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Property-Flood-Resilience-PFR-booklet.pdf
